England's Ashes Hopes

Lie in the hands of 16 men among whom there is no MPV or Harmison. Not that we expected the former to play.

Their training squad for the pre-Ashes camp comes as no surprise. Capitalising on their spin wickets, England have included 3 spinners in the squad, which means Adil Rashid gets his go, and what's more, Ian Bell's also in for kicks. Note Bell has nothing to do with good spin wickets.

Will he get a game? I doubt it, or at least I wouldn't give him a game myself. He can carry drinks for all it's worth.

And will KP be fit for the start of the Ashes? He thinks not. Then there's also Freddie who's also coming off an injury, but by now England need to have learnt to compensate for him. I give him two matches tops before he does another muscle/limb/body part in.

Another important question is WILL THEY WIN THE ASHES? We will find out in due course. I am, of course, hoping they don't but even if I were a closet England supporter, I'd be hunted down and killed by manic fans here. I cannot take that risk just to support a bunch of inbreds... Oi!

Amy, I hate to point this out, but *technically* they're still 'our' Royal family too. Next time you're in Canberra, can you please sort that out?

No Shah either... poor boy, what does he have to do?? And what does Bell have to do to not get picked??

Perhaps we should have vote on whether we think Flintoff or Watson will injure themselves first? It's a tough call, but I'm going for Watson. Bear in mind I do love Watson, I just think he needs to accept that he's built for looking at, not international sport.

I'm a little excited by Watto's injury as it now means we may get a decent cricketer as a replacement. Rumour here in SA is it's between C Ferg & Hodge. Let's hope C Ferg gets it, I was surprised we ignored him in the first place!

So Stani, not only do I have to get married, I have to have kids as well??? Am I allowed to, you know, vote and stuff? ;)

I like kids, but I'm the eldest in a big family, so I've done my share of looking after babies. My sisters' have kids... I can cope with the idea of not having my own.

And just because something's in nature doesn't mean we need to do it. There are plenty of other size groupings in nature too; you could pretty much use that argument to justify any arrangement you'd like to choose - including going solo!!

After an Italian waiter bowled out half of Australia's famed top order yesterday I'm a little bit more optimistic about the Ashes. Granted Flintoff is bound to break down at some point but he will still have more of an impact in one session in Cardiff than Shane Watson will manage in his entire Test career.Oh, and for a country which started out with a boat load of a couple of hundred convicts and about ten women I think Australians are in no position to make quips about inbreds. Pot, kettle...

That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.[b][/b]Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new. The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.

South Africa made Pakistan suffer on the opening day's play of the 1st Test at Dubai by piling up 311 for 3 in 89.3 overs on a flat pitch. The Proteas had won the crucial toss which made them bat first on this placing pitch. Their Skipper Graeme Smith top scored with 100 from 152 balls with 8 fours while there were half centuries coming in from opener Alviro Petersen (67), Hashim Amla (80) and Jacques Kallis who is batting on 53* in the company of night watchman Paul Harris. For Smith, it was a 22nd Test century of his career.
